    Hi, my partner & I have been in & out of this relationship for many years now. First I blamed the distance since we were working in different states. Then I decided to change my work place to solve the problem but even after that she seem to have an issue. I guess she is too afraid of what others, her mother in particular, will think of her. There are times, like now, where she will just stay away from me & remain silent. She was the one who took the initiative to begin this relationship. I took time to comprehend & when I finally realized that she met a lot to me, I committed myself to the relationship. But when my partner does this, it can get quite painful. We love each other, I know that. I wish I could do something to help her.

    Hi, BE. I see that you're in India. I know that, in some of the cities there, there is more of an LGBT presence. How is it where you're at? I guess that doesn't matter if her family or friends might lack understanding, acceptance & open mindedness. At this time, all I can suggest is, continue to be supportive & loving toward your lady. Knowing that you stand with her will hopefully make a difference.

    It seems like you did your part, you can't help someone who doesn't put forth the effort to help themselves. It sounds like you progressed the relationship a little too quickly, being with someone closeted is a pain.

    Perhaps give her space and move on for the time being. You can't "force" people out of the closet.
